[igt-dev] [PATCH 1/7] drm/i915: Use seqlock in engine stats

[Tvrtko Ursulin]

From: Tvrtko Ursulin <tvrtko.ursulin at intel.com>

We can convert engine stats from a spinlock to seqlock to ensure interrupt
processing is never even a tiny bit delayed by parallel readers.

There is a smidgen bit more cost on the write lock side, and an extremely
unlikely chance that readers will have to retry a few times in face of
heavy interrupt load.Bbut it should be extremely unlikely given how
lightweight read side section is compared to the interrupt processing side,
and also compared to the rest of the code paths which can lead into it.
